A couple days ago we noticed that one of our buff Orpington chicks was sleeping a lot more than the rest of the chicks and didn't seem to have as much energy. While the other chicks would be running around, this one would just be on its own sleeping. Yesterday she seemed to have more energy again and was running around with the other ones. Today she didnt seem as sleepy either, but possible was still was sleeping a bit more than the others. She's eating her food fine, but doesn't seem to be drinking much. We gave them some egg yolk the other night and they also have electrolytes and probiotics in their water. She also doesn't seem to be growing as much as the others and she is one of the smallest now. We have another buff Orpington chick that used to be smaller than this one, but now it is a lot bigger. Do you think this could be coccidiosis? We got some Corid from the feed store today just in case. Should I treat her with Corid just in case? If so, should I treat all the chicks? Btw, they are one week old. We also have some new chicks coming this Wednesday so I hope they won't get cocci from this chick if that is what she has...
I would appreciate any help you could give!
